hangul syllable gyaess

Hangul syllable 걨

105/11172

A Korean input method forms 걨 from three Hangul letters entered in sequence. This block represents one Korean syllable; its role and meaning come from the surrounding Korean text. Unicode can also represent the syllable as separate letters instead of one precomposed block.

Text symbol

What 걨 means

Enter ㄱ, then ㅒ, then ㅆ in Korean input.

A Hangul keyboard’s input software combines the initial consonant ㄱ, the vowel ㅒ, and the final consonant ㅆ into one block. If the letters stay separate, switch to Korean input mode.

Unicode can represent the same syllable as a decomposed sequence of letters. Normalization may convert between that sequence and the precomposed block.

What does 걨 mean by itself?

It represents one Korean syllable.

This block combines an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant. Read it within the surrounding Korean word or sentence to understand its role and meaning.

Where did Hangul come from?

Hangul was designed as a Korean writing system.

A royal chronicle from King Sejong’s reign records the alphabet’s announcement in 1443 under its Korean name 훈민정음; an explanatory book was published in 1446. The alphabet was designed to make Korean easier to write and learn than earlier methods called 이두, 향찰, and 구결, which adapted Chinese characters to record Korean. Hangul arranges letters into syllable blocks; 걨 is one such block.

Why does 걨 look different in different fonts?

It can. Hangul fonts resize and reposition the letters inside the block. Changes in spacing or stroke shape alter its display, not the character.
